It's a community thing. On en.wikibooks, our bureaucrats simply won't pay attention to irrational and poorly supported votes. Bureaucrats are able to use their judgement to consider the quality of votes above the sheer quantity of them.
In theory enwiki is the same. It doesn't really matter, anyway - presumably it's just one vote, enwiki RFAs have high enough turnout that one vote is rarely going to make much difference.
Obviously no sane Bureaucrat is going to count a vote that says, "Opppose- we shouldn't let in any sysops who can't RSVP with St Peter and the Heavenly Choir for that great Wikimania in the sky".
I think this is a non-issue.
Thanks, Pharos
At last sanity prevails!
(Although I would be interested in talking with a person who would base their vote on a totally non-religious issue, on strictly religious grounds. I can't help it, I was born curious :-))
